Sunday dinners and lunch containers

I love Sundays. They're usually spent grocery shopping with my mom and oftentimes with my niece. We then usually hang out at her place and make a healthy and delicious home cooked meal. Tonight was fresh salmon marinated in garlic, soy sauce, and brown sugar, and then my brother then put it in a smoker (I now smell like a bonfire).

Potatoes were tossed with olive oil and an Epicure seasoning mix and roasted on the barbecue. It was a beautiful day here in Winnipeg today! And of course a lovely fresh salad with romaine lettuce, cherry tomatoes, feta cheese, and a lemon ginger dressing.

I was packing my lunch for tomorrow when I got home and put my groceries away, and I realized that this container was perfect for my lunches. I bought two of them a few years ago but haven't really used them. They're not quite big enough for salads but they're great for your fruit, raw veggies, wraps, and sandwiches. I had to kind of jam my wrap in there though because of the lettuce - I left the leaf whole so the spine made it difficult to fold the ends in and make it smaller lol. It's also great for your banana so it doesn't get all bruised if you don't have a banana holder.

This is all I'm taking tomorrow! I usually have 3-4 containers so this definitely saves some space in my lunch bag.

I started dabbling with makeup in my early teens but honestly wasn't very good at it (like every 13 year old) and didn't like caking the stuff on. I also rarely had the time in the morning to do it because I was always running late.

I started wearing daily make up again a few years ago and I love how it makes me feel. Before I go further I want to state that I'm not afraid to go out without makeup, I still feel beautiful without it, and it doesn't define me or who I am. I just love how you can play with your look and the confidence that comes with it. I also enjoy the process now of picking my colors and creating the look. Also, when I say "daily makeup", I mean eye shadow, eye liner, and mascara. Nothing fancy and usually was one eye shadow color.

My new obsession started when I looked up a tutorial on how to do a smokey eye …

I have tried a few veggie burger recipes and they usually crumble and don't stay together. I found this recipe and made some changes. Mostly because I like adding veggies when possible because it can be hard to eat enough in a day.
Again I didn't take pictures because I was being lazy and was trying to get them done fast. I made these on Sunday morning while waiting for breakfast to be delivered (it was Indian food, a ton of calories, and soooo delicious!).

These turned out fairly well but they could have used more herbs and spices. I definitely added enough garlic 😷

Hello! I hope everyone is doing well and you're crushing your goals. I hope you had a chance to check out my travel blog about our trip to New Zealand. If you haven't and you'd like to see the pictures, the link is www.kelseystravelpics.blogspot.ca. Can we also just take a moment to talk about how long January felt?! I swear it felt like 3 months, and now February and March just zoomed by.
I've been struggling with my workouts the past few months so have been quiet on my Instagram and on here. I just haven't been making exercise a priority and I have to change that. Saturdays used to be my 'go hard' days and I can't seem to get a workout in at all on weekends. I also stopped working out as soon as I get home after work so I'll be getting back into that.

I started a part time course in January so I'm in class once a week and I've been making the mistake of not working out on Wednesday and then I end up missing Thursday as well since class is…
